Awakenings from Then ’til Now allows you to Embrace Your Past, Empower the Present, Enrich Your Future.

Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Who is Betty in 'brown Betty'?

Apples make wonderful autumn desserts. So, let's put apples on today's dessert menu. This dessert is said to have originated in colonial times,
when apples were often used to sweeten dishes. The recipe was first published
in the 1864 Yale Literary Magazine as "brown Betty." Brown was
lowercase and Betty was capitalized, probably referring to a specific person.
Whoever the lady was, the dessert is a favorite autumn recipe made with lovely
apples, spices, and layers of crumbs — bread crumbs, oats, or a crumble. So here's to Betty...whoever she was! Happy Apple Betty Day!October 5 is...

About Me

Sharla is a graduate of Troy State University and an educator with a flair for writing in poetic verse. Her latest book, Awakenings from Then ’til Now is available from Tate Publishing. It is dedicated to those who laid the foundation and established the platform for our American freedom: those who have served in the past, presently serve, or will serve our military forces in the future. A profound appreciation is extended for the sacrifice of these brave men and women who left or will leave their homes and family to ensure America’s freedom endures.

A grave price is being paid every moment of every day of the year for all the freedom America has to offer. Let us not forget those who have fought or are fighting for our nation; they are the epitome of the human spirit called freedom!
